Pair of early 19th Century mahogany Biedermeier secretaire commodes

Two identical antique Biedermeier cupboards North-East Germany Poplar burl Biedermeier, c. 1825 Dimensions: H x W x D: 166 x 107 x 55 cm each Description: An extremely rare pair of Biedermeier false front cabinets from the Berlin/Brandenburg area, circa 1825.

The plinth sections project slightly and taper towards the rear in a hollow-chamfered crossbar. The upper sections of the cabinet, built upon these bases, are flanked by two free-standing columns with finely crafted Ionic capitals in wood-bronze.
